Let's make it 3am as a few people might be able to make it then and there won't be much traffic

As it's networking focused (albeit casual) the time is 7pm and should be over long before 9 so if you turn up and we're still there expect a group of drunkards babbling incoherantly

Hi There,

Apologies to cut in on your networking arrangements. I'm looking for some advice/contacts to generate some work out in the Middle East. I have a design agency in London (motion graphics, web and print/brand design) and am keen to get some clients in what seems to be an interesting and exciting market.

I'm coming out to Abu Dhabi for a few days at the end of October and wanted to show some of our work out there. Is this the right kind of forum to be finding contacts/getting advice - I'm not overly experienced with online forums.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hey all

I'm new to this forum and also will be new to AD in August when I move and take up a new job there. Will be working in and ard AD mall, the east and west towers. As i am new - and will not have "many" friends, meeting expats would for sure help me cover on some of the do's and dont's. I was working in AD last yr for a few months so have a bit of understanding, but any other advice would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Hi

No need to apologise...these are open forums

Get in touch a few weeks before you come out in October and we can try to get a few of us together so you can network and see what a bunch of heavy drinking scoundrels we are!
